| Could be and only maybe, she was bit by a flea and has a allergic reaction. Or could have a food allergy. Either way, have a vet look at it. Leaving it unattended without knowing what it is could result in a staph infection.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Oh how I really wish I could tell you exactly what it is. I know this is driving yr baby miserable. Bella is two now, but when she was around 1 yr, she was biting terribly. The hair on her hind legs was very thin, I guess from her biting. These are the things I did & thank goodness today she is her normal self with thick hair & can rest peacefully. She is now on Comfortis pill for fleas & I changed her diet alternating between Wellness small breed & Natural Balance small bites. Don't give up! I really didn't notice dryness/flaking skin with her. Also you may want to use a shampoo with oatmeal to help her skin & definitely follow with a great conditioner. Rinse really well. Hope yr baby is feeling much better soon!

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | bless her heart.....I hope it improves soon! Try changing her diet to a premium dogfood. If she has primarily eaten one meat type, like chicken....maybe change to something else. Like NB Duck & Sweet Potato. Does she go outside alot in the grass? I also added Flaxseed oil to Bella's food with improvement. I know so well how frustrating it can be.
